I've been trying to use Automator to create an application that I
can run via cron to email me a daily summary of my upcoming calendar
appointments. The workflow I created (Find Events in iCal->Filter
Events->Event Summary->New Mail Message->Send Outgoing) works fine,
doing just what I want. When I save it as an application and then
execute it, it always sends me an empty email. The only messages I
see in the system log seem irrelevant and are identical whether the
workflow or application is run. How can I debug and, even better,
does anyone have a theory as to what could be going wrong with the
application?
According to <http://automator.us/leopard/downloads/index.html>...
"There is a known issue with Automator 2.0 actions not accepting text
input when they are set to display when the workflow is run. There is
no work-around for this problem other than to run the workflow
containing the effected actions, opened in Automator with their Show
When Run option disabled."
Could this be the problem you are encountering?
